Visit by Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Lowe from Deakin University in Australia went very well.

Lucas Maddy, Student Body President mentioned in a meeting that a particularly faculty member does not abide by the rules of class meeting times. The individual picks and chooses what days he/she decides to teach their classes.

Online catalog is progressing on schedule. Questions were raised about how and when the online catalog will be updated. Neilson has been charged with putting together a committee to discuss and develop a policy for the online catalog. Issues to be addressed include how often the online catalog needs to be updated, what period (month, semester, year) should retain the static status, and where the additional resources will come from. Ewanow observed that the online catalog should not be viewed as a money-saving project but as a means of running a more effective system. Neilson expressed the University's desire to have an online catalog that will be interfaced with the various student services tools on campus, i.e., DARS, SIS, etc.
